But that's probably the feature you're looking for in a router.
It's a possibility. I had been thinking of one where I could assign MAC addresses IP addresses, but either way would work. I will keep looking and report back.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Beej, I love my Nike+. In the Nikes, the transmitter fits under the insole, but it seems like it would work atttached to, say, the tongue of another brand of shoe. I'm not sure how that could be done securely - I mean to try it, but I haven't yet.
It's not terribly accurate right out of the box, but it can be calibrated. I'm going to walk a marked mile tomorrow, coincidentally, so I'll be able to report on the accuracy.
What I like best about it is that it records your instantaneous speed throughout the "run" so you can see when you slowed down in a particular run (I can always see exactly when I hit the steep hill leading back to my house, for example), and compare the same route from different times, stuff like that.
Audiobooks take up more space on the iPod, IME, because they are pretty long, but memory/unit of time seems about the same.
Jessica, if you find a way to do that, I would be extremely grateful to find out, also. I've been reduced to just not syncing my iPod if I'm only partially through a podcast and that is so not tenable.
ita, DH says there is alternate firmware (dd-wrt (open source)) for your router that allows you to reserve DHCP lease reservations - reserve specific IP addresses for specific computers but still allows all the other DHCP options. That's how our router is set up.

Deprecated. I hate that word. I mean, when we're not talking about t blink obviously.
Ooh! I've been kinda wanting an excuse to update my firmware, -t.

Sweet. Being the conduit for help is almost as good as being able to help.
BTW, DH would love to hear how it works out. He knows a couple of the people who work on that dd-wrt project but hasn't had an opportunity to try it out himself.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm thinking of buying a G5 iMac, as they're cheap on eBay nowadays. Does this sound sensible?

ita: My Mac Mini sees my main PC via my wireless network as \Binky (which is the name of my main PC). Is that what you're looking for? I haven't tried to access the Mini from my PC.
t edit There should be two back slashes in front of Binky

ita, have you tried using Bonjour? I installed in on the PC in my house and can now refer to machines as machinename.local.

Well, I bid £400 for an iMac G5 17" with 160gb HDD and 1gb of RAM. I've no idea how supported they still are, but I hope lots.

What on the PC are you accessing? I can see the share on Zoe just fine, but if I try and ping Zoe or use any other TCP/IP protocol to connect to it, I need an IP address.
Rob, does your PC see the Macs and do the Macs see the PCs with names via TCP/IP? I mean, is it mutual?
Either way, though, my TiVo is left out in the cold.
